Victor R. Beatty, 52, was shot late on the night of April 16, 2016, outside the ZAC Riders Motorcycle Club near 24th and Franklin Streets in northeast Omaha. Police were called at 10:51 p.m. and found Beatty and another man, 47-year-old Allen McReynolds, in the street. Both were taken to CHI Creighton University Medical Center; Beatty was initially listed in critical condition and later died at the hospital.

A neighborhood vigil and prayer walk followed, where loved ones remembered Beatty as compassionate and generous and his family said he was a decorated U.S. Air Force veteran who had served more than two decades. Investigators focused on the scene outside the motorcycle club but early on had no suspect description or clear motive. Days later arrest warrants named Phillip K. Osby, 36, on counts including second-degree murder, Zabrina Dunn-Osby, 39, on a charge of making a terroristic threat, and Lee Turner, 41, as wanted as an accessory to a felony. On May 6, 2016, Osby and Dunn-Osby were arrested in Columbia, Missouri, after a traffic stop on I-70; they were held at Boone County Jail pending extradition to Nebraska.

Did anyone in the Omaha area see activity near 24th and Franklin Streets that night or have information about the people involved?
